It's a shame Kit Harington didn't get more of a chance to take his top off in in Game of Thrones because the British hunk has got quite the body.

The actor showed off his toned figure as he hit the beach in Rio De Janeiro on Friday after ringing in the New Year in the Brazilian city.

Even with his famous locks tied back and sunglasses on, fans quickly recognised Jon Snow as he strolled along the sand with a male friend sipping cocktails.

But proving that even celebrities can fall victim to the dreaded t-shirt marks - Kit was sporting a slightly burnt chest and face, with a slight outline around his neck.

Maybe after years at the Wall, he's just not used to warmer climates?

Surprisingly for Game Of Thrones, Snow barely had any reason to flash the flesh during the five seasons he appeared in the HBO show.

Based mostly in the winter ravaged North defending the Wall against the White Walkers, Harington stayed all but covered up.

The tattooed star spent most of 2015 trying to stay tight lipped about whether his character would be leaving GOT and after the shocking season finale , viewers have been left to guess about the actor's fate.

Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Teaser

Despite the sight of a lifeless Jon bleeding on the snow after the Night's Watch mutinied against him, the character appeared in a teaser for the new series in November.

We'll have to wait until April when series six hits screens to see if Jon is part of the cast.
